-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: ITC 2011: Second Call for Papers Datum: Wed, 15 Dec 2010 11:58:12 +0100 Von: Tobias Hoßfeld <hossfeld(a)INFORMATIK.UNI-WUERZBURG.DE> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE ITC 2011 23rd International Teletraffic Congress Call for Papers San Francisco, USA September 6-8, 2011 http://www.itc-conference.org/2011/ ITC provides a venue for researchers from academia and industry interested in design and control of communication networks, protocols, and applications. The rapid evolution in these areas, driven by technological advances and new business models, raises a critical need for continuous reappraisal of modeling, control and management mechanisms. For instance, as energy becomes an increasingly important design criterion, new algorithms are needed to optimize the tradeoff between energy consumption and quality of service. In addition to improving network efficiency and performance, there has recently been a significant interest in new network architectural principles. How should the lower layers be structured to best support content-centric networking? What network control and optimization issues are raised by virtualization and cloud computing? What architectural elements and business models are needed to meet user expectations for service quality, reliability and security in a cost-effective way? Now annually held, ITC 2011 solicits submission of papers with original contributions, especially contributions that address novel issues, pioneer disruptive paradigms, or propose innovative models and techniques.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] CFP Resource Constrained Systems (Philadelphia, USA) Datum: Tue, 14 Dec 2010 14:55:42 +0100 Von: Herve Guyennet <guyennet(a)lifc.univ-fcomte.fr> Antwort an: herve.guyennet(a)lifc.univ-fcomte.fr, guyennet(a)lifc.univ-fcomte.fr An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu, itc(a)comsoc.org, commsoft(a)ieee.org WORKSHOP ON CHALLENGES IN RESOURCE CONSTRAINED SYSTEMS (CRCS 2011) As part of 2011 International Conference on Collaboration Technologies and Systems (CTS 2011) - 23-27 May, 2011 - Philadelphia, USA http://cts2011.cisedu.info/ IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission Deadline: December 30, 2010 Notification of Acceptance: February 1, 2011 Camera Ready Papers and Registration Due: March 1, 2011 Conference Dates: May 23 - 27, 2011 SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES Resource constrained systems present significant limitations of resources and therefore require innovative solutions. The resource can be either energy (when it's a limiting factor for the global working time like in sensor networks), or computational time (e.g., for systems with small computational capacities like embedded devices or smart cards). It can also be delivery time (for systems which have to give an answer in a bounded time like real-time systems), or data availability (when data is a central and essential point in the system like in medical systems). The solutions for constrained systems can not only adapt existing approaches for traditional systems as they open a whole new world of opportunities and new applications. Tightly coupled to the physical world, constrained systems need different kinds of programming, of communication and of interfacing. This workshop is focused on resource constrained systems, specifically those used as collaboration systems. The collaborative point of view in constrained systems covers several key aspects: data management, protocols, applications, sharing and exchanging, performance evaluation. The Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following: • Data and Resource Sharing • Data Collection and Analysis • Data Fusion and Aggregation • Resource-aware Protocols and Applications • Connectivity, Deployment and Routing • Topology Issues in RCS • QoS issues • Innovative Applications • Trusted Resource Constrained Systems and Applications • Trust and Security • Performance Evaluation of RCS • Modeling and Simulation • Resource Constrained Sensors • Highly Resource Constrained Mobile Platforms • Real-time Computing Systems • Resource Constrained Embedded Systems PAPER SUBMISSION You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above and other topics related to CRCS. Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere. Submission should include a cover page with authors' names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and email addresses. Please, indicate clearly the corresponding author and include up to 6 keywords from the above list of topics and an abstract of no more than 450 words. The full manuscript should be at most 8 pages using the two-column IEEE format. Additional pages will be charged additional fee. Please include page numbers on all preliminary submissions to make it easier for reviewers to provide helpful comments. Submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript via email to the workshop organizers. Only PDF files will be accepted, sent by email to the workshop organizers. Each paper will receive a minimum of three reviews.

Fwd: CfP: 2nd Int. Workshop on Software Engineering for Sensor Network Applications (SESENA)

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP: 2nd Int. Workshop on Software Engineering for Sensor Network Applications (SESENA) Datum: Tue, 14 Dec 2010 11:11:06 +0100 Von: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> An: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this. -- 2nd International Workshop on SOFTWARE ENGINEERING FOR SENSOR NETWORK APPLICATIONS May 22, 2011, Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii http://www.sesena.info In conjunction with ACM/IEEE Int. Conf. on Software Engineering (ICSE) Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are a fundamental building-block of the upcoming Internet of Things, as they enable seamless integration of the digital and physical worlds. Despite the interest raised by this decade-old research topic, the development of WSN software is still carried out in a rather primitive fashion, by building software directly atop the operating system and by relying on the individual, hard-earned programming skills. WSN developers must face not only the functional application requirements but also a number of challenging, non-functional requirements and constraints resulting from scarce re- sources. The heterogeneity of network nodes, the unpredictable envi- ronmental influences, and the large size of the network further add to the difficulties. In the WSN community there is a growing awareness of the need for methodologies, techniques, and abstractions that simplify the develop- ment task and increase the confidence in the correctness and perfor- mance of the resulting software. Software engineering (SE) support is therefore sought, not only to ease the development task but also to make it more reliable, dependable, and repeatable. Nevertheless, this topic has received so far very little attention by the SE community. The aim of SESENA11 is to attract researchers belonging to both the SE and WSN communities, not only to exchange their recent research re- sults on the topic, but also to stimulate discussion about the core open problems and to define a shared research agenda. The workshop welcomes both research contributions and position statements. The for- mer will allow discussing in technical depth novel results with an au- dience composed of both SE and WSN researchers. The latter will pro- vide the opportunity for presenting open problems, provocative views, or previously-unexplored ideas in an informal fashion. SESENA11 will also include a "speakers' corner" session composed by impromptu pre- sentations where any of the attendees (including those without an ac- cepted paper) will be given a chance to present their own views in very short statements (e.g., 2-4 minutes). TOPICS OF INTEREST The workshop solicits contributions including, but not limited to, the following aspects of SE for sensor networks: * (macro)programming languages and compilers; * testing and debugging; * formal verification and model checking; * model-driven approaches; * interfacing WSNs and business software SUBMISSIONS Prospective participants are invited to submit research or position papers containing original unpublished material describing ongoing work and new ideas, mature research results, or experience reports. Submissions must conform to the ICSE submission format and rules (see http://2011.icse-conferences.org/content/submission-guidelines). Re- search papers may not exceed 6 pages, position papers must be limited to 2 pages. See the SESENA11 web site (http://www.sesena.info) for submission instructions. The program committee will review all submissions for quality, rele- vance, and their potential to trigger discussions at the workshop. Ac- cepted papers will be published in the ICSE companion proceedings and on the workshop web site. IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission: January 21, 2011 Author notification: February 26, 2011 Camera-ready: March 10, 2011 Workshop: May 22, 2011 GENERAL CHAIRS Kurt Geihs, University of Kassel, Germany Kay Roemer, University of Luebeck, Germany & ETH Zurich, Switzerland PROGRAM CHAIRS Luca Mottola, Swedish Institute of Computer Science Gian Pietro Picco, University of Trento, Italy PROGRAM COMMITTEE Vittorio Cortellessa, University of L'Aquila, Italy Geoff Coulson, Lancaster University, UK Prabal Dutta, University of Michigan, USA Carlo Ghezzi, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Stefan Gruner, University of Pretoria, South Africa Valerie Issarny, INRIA, France Stamatis Karnouskos, SAP Karlsruhe, Germany Pedro Jose' Marron, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany Alessandro Orso, GeorgiaTech, USA Gruia-Catalin Roman, Washington University in St. Louis, USA Wilhelm Schaefer, University of Paderborn, Germany Mary Lou Soffa, University of Virginia, USA Andreas Terzis, John Hopkins University, USA Kamin Whitehouse, University of Virginia, USA Matthias Woehrle, Technical University of Delft, The Netherlands Alexander L.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - IEEE Network Magazine - Special Issue on Communication Infrastructures for Smart Grid Von: "Chin, Woon Hau" <w.h.chin(a)ieee.org> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CC: Apologies if you have received multiple copies of this CFP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call For Papers IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on Communication Infrastructures for Smart Grid Background Over the past decades, rapid technological advancements and changes in electrical consumption behavior have drastically increased the demand on the power grid. In order to cope with future demand increases as well as to provide a more robust and efficient way of delivering and distributing electricity, developing smart grid has become an urgent global priority. In the past few years, governments have stepped up efforts to promote smart grid as a viable solution to future energy problems. Standards organizations are also shaping the development of smart grid by defining the characteristics of smart grid. At the same time, the industry begins to invest in enabling technologies for smart grid. With the growth of alternative energy generation and storage, the smart grid system will have to be able to intelligently integrate and control the different elements of the grid so as to realize the full potential of the system. Communication infrastructures are at the core of the smart ! grid as they will empower the legacy power grid with the capability of supporting two-way energy and information flow, isolating and restoring power outages more quickly, facilitating the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid and empowering the consumer with tools for optimizing their energy consumption. With most of the framework defined, there are still many important issues which need to be resolved before smart grid can be operationally ready for the market. We plan this special issue to help address that need, and would like the special issue to focus on recent advances as well as survey papers in communication infrastructures for smart grid. Scope The papers in this special issue will focus on research and experiments in various aspects of smart grid communication infrastructures. We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include, but not limited to the following: • Demand Response • Network Resource Optimization • Congestion Management for Smart Grid Communications • Self-healing and Self-optimizing Networking • Networking for Smart Grid (e.g. ROLL, 6LoWPAN, IP) • Cyber Security and Privacy • Field Trials • Regulatory Issues • Standardization and Interoperability Manuscript Submission Articles should be of tutorial in nature and authors must follow the IEEE Network guidelines for preparation of the manuscript and its format. For details, please refer to the "Guidelines for manuscripts" at the IEEE Network magazine web site at http://dl.comsoc.org/ni/. Manuscripts should be submitted in PDF format with a separate cover letter, which contains the paper title, authors, affiliations, complete contact information (indicating the primary contact author), a 250-word abstract, and 3-5 keywords, via an e-mail to all of the guest editors. Papers outside of the scope of this special issue will be rejected; authors uncertain about the relevance of their paper should inquire with the guest editors before submission. Schedule Manuscript Submission: February 1, 2011 Notification of Acceptance: May 1, 2011 Final Manuscript Due: July 1, 2011 Publication: September 2011 Guest Editors Woon Hau Chin Toshiba Research Europe Limited w.h.chin(a)ieee.org Rose Qingyang Hu Research In Motion rosehu(a)ieee.org Nada Golmie National Institute of Standards and Technology nada.golmie(a)nist.gov Yi Qian University of Nebraska-Lincoln yqian(a)ieee.org _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
